As some of the covers Nelly’s Heroes perform may be from bands you haven’t come across before, we thought it’d be good to give a preview of some of the songs we do. We have added links below to videos of a few of our songs being performed by their ‘rightful artists.

New Rose by The Damned

Molly’s Chambers by Kings of Leon

Who’s Got a Match? by Biffy Clyro

Buick Mckane – Guns n Roses

For You by Anti Nowhere League

Rockaway Beach by The Ramones

Stepping Stone by Sex Pistols

I have to stress we don’t aim to cover songs note for note – so when heard live, expect the Nelly’s Hereos touch to all that we perform.
